Our new homes in The Park at The Magnolias in Ocala are designed to augment the unique architectural style and character of this community.

Homes Designed for Unparalleled Curb Appeal

Homes in The Park at The Magnolias feature a modern Farmhouse architectural style epitomized by a large front porch, simple lines, and gable rooflines. Mixed materials, including horizontal siding, board-and-batten or vertical siding and trim, and stone accents, create an appealing, layered look, with large windows and shutters further enhancing the curb appeal.

Something you won't see are garages - not facing the street, anyway. These homes are designed with rear-entry garages, enhancing the curb appeal. There's no driveway taking up the front yard; instead, a walkway extends from the sidewalk to your front porch, with greenery and garden beds filling the space. And, there aren’t open garages filled with junk ruining the appearance of your street; instead, inviting front porches and beautifully landscaped yards create a pleasing, pedestrian-friendly landscape.

Front Porches: Where People Connect

Front porches are back in a big way. More than an architectural design choice, the front porch encourages a return to outdoor living and community connection. It’s a spot where people can sit and enjoy the fresh air, converse with neighbors, and unplug at the end of the day, while watching kiddos play in the yard or park, and taking in the happenings of the community.

In The Park at The Magnolias, homes are designed with expansive, classically-columned porches facing the sidewalk and offering ample space for porch sitting. And, with the garage on the rear of the home, traffic is kept away from this social space, allowing life and laughter to fill the front porch.

Luxuriously-Designed Interiors
